“MAR IMPANEMA”

Great location great staff great room close to the beach and all the shopping a perfect experience and the staff is super helpfull and friendly highly recommend we asked for the quiet room it was perfect for us and since it doesnt have a window you get a great beach shot on your wall we absolutly loved the room very spacious as well

“I had a great stay at Mar Ipanema!”

The location is fantastic! Two blocks from the beach, 4 blocks from the lake, at the center of Ipanema"s shops and restaurants. The hotel is very nice. The lobby is small, but very attractive and comfortable. My room was very clean and quiet. The bed was comfortable, AC was quiet and worked well. There is a nice wall mounted plasma TV (which I never watched). The bathroom was very nicely appointed. There is no gym or pool here. The best part of my stay was the staff. They were very helpful, pleasant, informed about Rio including side trips, transportation, etc. I can't recall encountering a nicer group of people working at a hotel that I have stayed in for a very long time. 5 star staff for sure! When I return to Rio, I will stay here again!

“First time in Rio”

Great place to stay - good location - helpful staff and very comfortable accomodations!

“Lovely hideaway in Rio”

The location was very good,the price was very reasonable. We were pleased with every aspect of the hotel and its employees. Will stay there again.

“Best hotel and best localization”

Best hotel to stay, close to the beach, next to many shoppings, clean, new and helpful.

“Amazing location”

The neighborhood is really safe and nice, with a lot of restaurants and bars at walking distance. The hotel is very new and fairly comfortable. You should try the "sucos" places around the hotel. Those fruit juices are amazing.

“Very Modern”

I was allowed to check in an hour early. The room is very clean and modern decor. Bed was on the hard side, but quite comfortable. The suites are on the first two floors, not the top floors like most hotels. There is no view of the ocean, but only a 2 block walk from Posto 10, one of the best parts of Ipanema. Free WiFi is included.

“Awesome Customer Service”

We spent 2 nights at the Mar Ipanema as it was our first time in Rio and Ipanema Beach was suggested over Copacabana. The hotel is located 2 blocks from the beach and we felt extremely comfortable walking around the area. The room was ready when we arrived and every last detail was taken care of. The front desk staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They were able to arrange a city tour for us at a reasonable price as well as recommend and get reservations to a wonderful churrascarria nearby. Their rate included a hot breakfast in the adjacent bar/restaurant every morning. The choices were fresh and plentiful. Upon checking out they cheerfully held our luggage as our flight was not until late that evening and cheerfully kept the cooler bag with my meds in a refrigerator so as not to rely on the ice packs for 24 hours. They also arranged for a safe taxi to the international airport for a fixed rate (very important with the evening traffic). To say we were impressed would be an understatement; Mar Ipanema was a first rate experience and we would be happy to recommend them to our friends. Needless to say when we return to Rio this will be our hotel of choice.

“The Gem of Ipanema”

Mar Ipanema Hotel is a lovely, reasonably priced hotel in the heart of the Ipanema neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. The staff here is exceedingly friendly and welcoming. They were very helpful making dinner reservations and providing tips and suggestions for things to do around Rio. Only 2 blocks from the beautiful Ipanema beach, the hotel supplies beach blankets, chairs and umbrellas, all free of charge. The hotel also offers a delicious hot breakfast buffet everyday with local favorites like pao de queijo and fresh fruit juices. The rooms are stylish and impeccably clean, and each has a minibar and flat screen TV with dozens of channels in several languages. I LOVE MAR IPANEMA HOTEL and I will stay here every time I come back to Rio de Janeiro.

“Great way to enjoy Ipanema”

The staff was extremely friendly, helpful and professional. Very nice experience overall. I will return to this hotel if I decide to travel to Rio again.
